Lou Stoppard reports on the Gucci show

Report by Lou Stoppard on 23 February 2017.

A key emblem for the show was a snake eating itself, creating a perfect circle as its tail enters its mouth. This Ouroboros, an ancient Egyptian symbol, decorated show notes. Isn't that a worthy symbol of fashion right now? Moving forward bit by bit by destroying what has come before. And if there's anyone who’s dictating the pace of fashion today - whether by challenging the chilly minimalism that dominated for so long, or by kicking off the return of logomania, or by, alongside Hedi Slimane, growing the vogue for 'fake vintage' - it's Alessandro Michele.
